Quickest and Smoothest ROM for G2x? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Alright, I know this is one of the worst questions to ask on this forum, but I can't help myself.
There are so many choices, and its so hard differentiating them from each other.
So far, I am deciding between hellfire and eagleblood. (Latest ICS)
All I want is the phone to work smoothly. I want apps to load without freezing, and the least amount of lag in general in the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time.

Try looking through the many similiar threads that were properly posted in the Q&A section.

What is the difference between Hellfire Sandwich and Hellfire Pheonix?
Also, a reason I am asking this is because a lot of the other forums are outdated..

Why don't you do some research? This is such a simple answer. I'm only going to tell you so you don't ask any more obvious ones. HP is based off of Gingerbread, HS is based off Ice Cream Sandwich. If you don't know what that means, search for the answer.
And read the threads in the Dev section, they're not dead.

If you feel battery life isn't up to par, use Bionix Reloaded instead.

Try both not that hard son

Load as many roms as you want and then try them out ...one by one

I cannot strongly enough recommend running Hellfire Phoenix 2.0 with the ELP Trinity kernel. This combination has given me the utmost in speed, stability and battery life and makes me constantly marvel at how perfectly silky smooth my phone runs. ICS on the G2X doesn't have a proper 4.x.x kernel so it is unstable and buggy as a result.

I agree I was getting around 26-30 hours with the combo and no issues pretty much... Only thing I was using EaglesBlood 2.3.7...The major thing that caused me back to a stock based rom was the low mic volume, gets annoying hearing people tell me to speak up, although not an issue to all.

I can only speak for eahlesblood and cm7. Cm is stable but keyboard lag and battery meter are annoying. Eb froyo is pretty good. Im a cm addict so that makes be biased.

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

faux's is not based off CM his is AOSP built from scratch it has 2.3 camera and macro shots and such are still available only issue I see with Faux's rom is battery tells the wrong battery level, be at 76% and after a reboot have 64% but thats alot of roms dont know about stock, and I can live with it. seriously best rom yet.

I believe faux's rom is more of a hybrid. He took some stuff from aosp source and some from cm source (like the kernel I believe)

MIUI is by far...the smoothest snappiest ROM. Just no bluetooth. if u dont use bluetooth this is the ROM for you. Really the only 2 choices are Infused and MIUI and then there are some other mumbo-jumbo ones that half work......

Honestly, I didn't like MIUI, i thought it looked pretty childish IMO lol You should also consider Dlev Rom. Trying them all out wouldn't hurt either, everyone has their own opinion...
So far, my personel best experience has been with Serendipity VII.
MIUI...S7...CM7 have been my favorites . Running MIUI and have to say it is my number one choice.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
yeahhh ive seen a bunch of people that like miui, im gonna try them all this week to see... thanks
DLEV is my favorite. I had infused until gtg left. And miui does look a lil' kiddie. What I love about fleck is the smoothness. It blazes! And if you apply 99 tweaks and S.A.S. on top of it, it becomes insane. If you like benchmark #'s I consistently get 27500.

Personally, I'm running Infused with Entropy's kernel and a bunch of custom CPU settings. My phone is blazing fast - just no HDMI out as with all GB ROMs so far as it seems.
Everyone's gonna have their own preference. Get familiar with flashing and start playing with different ROMs. The only way you'll find your preference is by trying.
Personally for me, I prefer battery life over performance (such as HD video displays, high mem-usage games, etc) so I like Infused for that. I get roughly 26 hours on a charge with JuiceDefender and moderate usage...
Good luck!

Smoothest basic ROM?

My dad just bought the wind mobile version of this phone. What is a smooth basic ROM you guys would recommend for him? he doesn't need anything fancy
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I like weapon but you could always start with the basic rooted stock rom and go from there.
I suggest eaglebloods latest rom, which can be found in the development section of the g2x. It is extremely smooth and stable. I would also use faux123 4.6 kernel with that rom.

Must try Tsugi. It is a pretty basic rom but is blazing fast and reliable. It has never crashed on me as long as I have been running it. Can't say enough good things about it.

I've heard great things about Tsugi! So +1. I've tried Weapons, wasn't my cup of tea. Froze quite alot in the early builds.

Really? This poor horse...
I use Weapon 3 which is based on stock Android 2.3.3 with Faux123-0.1.3 recompiled kernel. It has very good battery life, is fast, and very stable.
Galnet MIUI, it really is impressive
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
After trying both Tsugi and Weapon, I personally prefer Tsugi. It seems to work slightly better for me, and I overall seem to have fewer issues. The LG Camera also seems to work slightly better on it although I can't point to any definitive area, other than the fact it has a panorama mode (which only sort of works).
Weapon is great if you want to run Touchwiz, which I find makes more sense to people who don't know what they're doing. Another big deal is that Tsugi doesn't have the shutdown issue where when the phone runs out of battery instead of turning off the screen just goes black and drains the battery more. This may or may not cause damage to the battery, but it's not worth the risk.
Just my two cents
i would say eagle
Jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Colorized is what I settled on after trying pretty much every current ROM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I would say leave it alone. usually the one originally on there is the safest and most stable. I have installed the latest nightly build 201 from cm. Its for me and I know what to do if something is wrong.
My wife's android phones I always kept at stock for her so whenever there is an issue its easier to fix.
Just stay stock bud and your dad should be fine ok?
Miui.us is Da best so far with trinity kernel,axura, then tsugi? There's a mess of them? Lol

which ROM is the fastest?

I am running ICS (AOKP?) on my G2x, and have installed many apps. Recently I noticed that the phone kind of runs slow - sometimes laggy when I open such as apps as pandora and google docs, etc. That makes me wonder if I should look for a faster ROM. Which one is the fasted? ICS is generally more resource hungry? or Gingerbread could be lighter and faster generally speaking?
Go with an OC/UV kernel instead. You can try faux049b5 or morfics or harsh 1904 or 1504 with OC. They are all good in their own sense.
The respective links of the kernels are in the development section.
Anything besides ICS
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, there's a few things we need to know. Who's ROM are you using? EaglesBlood, Hellfire, CM9, Team Kangs? And what kernel are you running? The stock included in the ROM or did you flash a different one?
I'm using EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.3 with stock Faux Kernel. I didn't have that issue. That's one recommendation. Depending on which one your using will depend in other recommendations. If you decide you use AOSP (MIUI) instead I recommend Stormaggedon's ROM's. MIUI.us kept giving me force crash errors for force crash errors for a force crash error for reporting the force crash on start up. Didn't matter how long it sat nor how many times I restarted it.
Try EaglesBlood first. I'm about to clash Hellfire ICS with the harsh kernel. I'll let you know how that runs.
Edit: HellFire ICS with Harsh Kernel works nice. Its smooth, no lag, oh and in the developers settings have kill all apps when you leave them. Try that as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Pretty much all the roms are fast on here. Its what you use your phone for and install on it that eventually start slowing it down.
I know I personally favor the hellfire phoenix rom, but asking or saying which rom is the best/fastest is kinda ignorant as they all are the best for their own reasons.

Your missing one update. He's up to 1.09 now. Oh and um... yeah, GB is slow. Something I figured out when I made the change to ICS. But, I think I'll humor it. Ive been looking for a half decent GB rom. Might try EB's out.

Are you saying ICS roms are faster then any gb rom?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Go with any GB rom (CM7.2 RC1 for me with Faux kernel), they are much smoother and faster than ICS roms currently are. I have tried every ICS rom (even with harshs latest kernels as of yesterday) and while they have made great strides I find CM7.2 RC1 to still be much smoother and faster (especially under heavy usage).

Nobody can tell you which Kernel will work best for whatever ROM you wish to use it for because even though we have the 'same' phone, they are not all equally built. What may work with amazing battery life and performance to one person, might be terribly sluggish with terrible battery life for the next person. The only real way to tell which ROM+Kernel combo works best for your phone is to try every Kernel you think your phone 'likes'. Whether we all want to admit it or not, that is probably the best way.
Hope this helped, Good luck!

Are there any kernels that work with CM7.2 RC1 that both allow for OC/(UV) and don't completely break the accellerometer?
I have tried Trinity and Faux. I would really like to get back to ridiculous battery life from this extended battery pack.

Trinity Kernels
I recently installed the Trinity Kernel and I don't really feel like I see a difference in my phone. I feel like my battery has shown no improvement. I installed the ti5 one but maybe I'll try the ELP one instead to see if I get anything different. I'm really looking for longer battery life. I used the phone theses days for about 30min of music a day (subway ride) and browsing here and there. Turned all syncing and app notifications off.
Check out the attached photos. I've seen screenshots of people with bar graphs showing their device at the top way ahead of everyone else.
